This is the first one I want to point your attention to.
Task Force, they will be in the video uploads on Spotify, YouTube, and also on our social.
You might not know this, but the visible light spectrum is such a tiny sliver of the entire electromagnetic spectrum.
If you look at the pretty basic image, it doesn't have any of like the wavelengths on it.
It's a rudimentary version, but you can see the tiny sliver right there in the middle ultraviolet X-ray gamma ray.
Those get more high energy, shorter wavelength.
And then once you get into infrared, which we experience as heat,
and then you get up into the microwaves, then you get into radio waves, which are the longest wavelengths.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
I mean, like during a ghost hunt, you might see people with like it cuts to a rainbow looking camera and it's showing you heat, right?
So something that's cold might be dark purple or blue and something that's hot might be red, yellow or otherwise.
That's yeah, exactly a way to visualize the otherwise invisible portion of the infrared spectrum.
I think it's the same for the James Webb Space Telescope, which I think looks entirely within the infrared spectrum.
And so when you see these beautiful images,
from NASA, from the JWST.
It is infrared converted into colors.
It's colorized, I believe, so that way we can understand it.
But otherwise, like it's in a realm of electromagnetic wavelengths that we just can't see with our eyes.
And so
